Heading Home (Crossing the Penobscot)

 We headed Downeast yesterday, to spend Thanksgiving week at Brooklin. After some bitterly cold weather this month it was a warmish day, 50 degrees F and plenty of sun. Not a leaf left on the trees: that shiny silver light of November. We stopped for a late breakfast at Chase's Daily in Belfast, and half an hour later crossed the Penobscot Narrows Bridge into Hancock County. It's the final week for the Verso paper mill at Bucksport, which is shutting down after 84 years.
